Understanding the Tax Side of a 1031 Exchange

A 1031 Exchange Tax Services can be relevant in certain qualifying real estate transactions.

Planning Before the Transaction

Timing matters in real estate decisions.

Tax questions are often more useful before a transaction is finalized than after everything has already occurred.

Luma’s Strategic Tax Advisory practice allows clients to consider potential tax implications as part of the planning process.

The Broader Tax Picture

  • Residency
  • Other property transactions
  • Overall individual tax compliance

Multi-State Property Considerations

Property located outside a taxpayer’s primary state can add another jurisdiction to the tax situation.

Lety’s professional approach includes ongoing research into federal and state legislation, court decisions and administrative regulations.
